Three words that are not synonyms
Revoke
Withdraw an actor’s access. Soft and reversible.
Remove
Delete a venue credential. Hard and irreversible.
Reconnect
Replace a credential the venue itself killed.
Revoking an actor
Takes effect at the front door. Reversible — grant the actor back and they resume. Positions stay open and stay the pod’s. Manage them through the console or another actor in the pod.Removing a venue credential
This is the destructive one. Removing a credential deletes it and schedules its signing key for destruction. It cannot be undone; reconnecting means supplying a new credential. Two further points:- Removing here does not revoke at the venue. If a credential is compromised, rotate or revoke it on the venue’s side as well.
- Untying is not removing. Untying one pod leaves the credential working for every other pod tied to it. Removing the credential takes access away from all of them. Use the narrower lever when the narrower lever will do.
A safe state before teardown
Flat is not enough. A resting order can still fill after access is withdrawn. Safe means: no open positions and no working orders.Reconnecting
If a venue rejects a credential — rotated, expired, revoked on their side — it lands in a terminal state here and orders stop routing. Supply a new credential to resume. The pod, its ties, its actors, and its history are unaffected.If you stop paying
Service stops. Access to your own assets does not. Non-payment ends the ParlayX service: administrative access is withdrawn, and we stop operating on your behalf. You retain the ability to reach your keys and move your funds and positions out on your own timetable. We do not close positions, and we do not hold assets as leverage.Reference
Things worth knowing
- Revocation propagates as fast as our caches allow. If a key is compromised, tell us and we will invalidate it immediately rather than waiting.
- Rotation is safe. It is the same account with a new key, and it does not disturb positions or ties.
- Once a credential is removed, we also lose visibility into that account — including settlements that occur afterward.
